There are two hardware requirements to print ID Cards, the correct cards to print on and a compatible printer.

CR80 Cards

We have made our ID Cards available to be printed on the most common sized ID Cards used world-wide, CR80 cards. The dimensions for this card size are 2.13" x 3.38" (54mm x 86mm), the size of a standard credit card.

CR80 Cards are plastic or PVC cards which are used to create permanent or semi-permanent ID Cards.

Compatible Printers

Because the CR80 card is so commonly used, it is compatible with most ID Card Printers. These printers are different from the standard label printer used to print paper badge passes for visitors and service providers.

ID Card printers print on plastic or PVC cards and often have the ability to print in color.

If you're not sure whether your printer can print on CR80 cards, we recommend contacting your hardware vendor or looking up the specifications online.

Printing an ID Card

Once you have determined that you are using the correct hardware, have created a template, and have added an ID Card to a person's profile, you are ready to print an ID Card.

Quick Tip! ID Cards can be printed with either a QR Code or a Barcode, this is set up in the ID Card template. The type of barcode symbology we support is Code 39, this applies to barcodes only.

ID Card printing works by creating an online PDF of the ID Card and then printing to your ID Card printer. This method allows you to print an ID Card from any computer using any browser, including computers with multiple printers installed.

Please Note: Your printer will need to have its settings configured prior to printing. These settings will depend on your printer and because most ID Card Printers are compatible we are unable to provide an exact guide for this setup.

You can print ID Cards manually one-by-one, or in bulk, each method has different steps to begin printing and then depend on the browser you are using to finish. First we will go through the steps to begin printing, then the browser specific steps.
